Loves, I’m a big believer that fashion can be magic; it can change your mood, life, and make you smile. There are outfits that are true magic,and while I usually use that word to describe an evening outfit, this jumpsuit fits the bill. Part tribute (Ziggy), part menswear (workwear jumpsuit), part magic (Cosmos), these are the perfect combination of sass and fashion. Wear them with sneakers for running around, wear them with heels for a night out. I’ve worn them with a shirt underneath (I love it with a stripe, but it looks great with a solid as well!) Everytime I wear it, people (men and women) comment and ask where I got it, proving that simple can make a statement and that fashion is magic. And loves, all Friday needs is some magic!

There are certain fashion truths we get told: No White After Labor Day (some of my thoughts on that here), There are age limits on trends (my rebuttal of that here) and that you shouldn’t mix red and pink. I don’t have a link to tell you what I feel about it, but I have some pics. Loves, forget what you’ve heard: this is my new favorite combo. This color blocking scheme has slowly been popping up on dresses, in pant and shirt combos, shoes, skirts, all over your social media, and all over magazines. So, like any team player, I tried it out for you. And loves, please let me tell you this won’t be the only time (I really did just order red pants, I can bet you’ll see this color blocking combination again). Red and Pink are related, so it makes sense that they might go together, and while I love the bright pink from this Zara Sweater; this red//pink combo will best just as stunning with softer versions of the shades. I love the sweater and skirt, top and pant, color blocked dresses, shoes, etc. To add a pop of fun I paired my red//pink combo with color blocked Gucci socks (yes, we’re slowly making color blocking our thing), and gold shoes. Gold goes with everything, FYI.

I’d love to know: are you wearing red and pink together?

Loves, we know I love cheeky fashion (recent examples include here and here), so you know that I would love a great (fake) nip slip! (They happen, let’s own it and celebrate them!) This shirt is cheeky, fun, and paired with the corset trend, it’s spot on! The best thing about this nip slip? Part of the shirt’s proceeds go to women/children’s charities. You’re having fun with fashion and helping others? That’s a great way to Friday!

(Side note: these Mother jeans are my fave and go with everything, I love the slides-classic and easy, and I can’t wait to style this Vintage Fendi corset in more than one way!)

Wearing all black is such a fashion staple (or cliche) that it seems almost crazy to write about it. However, loves, know what sells all black? Attitude. Attitude is inherent in all black, so I know you have it, sometimes though–you have to kick it up a notch. Meaning? Leather, cutout shoes, and the wherewithal to flaunt it. Cliche? Not on our watch. The word you’re looking for is attitude!

There’s a school of thought that separates fashion into “high” and “everyday” (or ready to wear). I don’t really apply to that school, our lives are spent in the everyday, so why not wear what makes you happy? And loves, fashion makes me happy! Especially dresses like this: fun details, go great with any shoe from heels to sneakers, and comfy enough for any errand. A great bag that’s big enough for your life, but not boring. And shoes that nod to both. I love that the prints don’t match but flow; and loves, the trick there is to stay within the same color family. High fashion at the grocery store? I say yes. I promise it makes Monday easier!

There’s something about this vintage Gucci top that just makes me want to lounge. It goes great with jeans, pants, skirts–but I love it in this slightly 70’s nod with a leather skirt and peep toes. The low v doesn’t need any help to stand out (you could layer it over a turtleneck or shirt if you needed to), but a little red lip never hurt no one. Lounging, parties, or a dinner out–this will do all the talking you need!

Happy Friday!! Xo RA

Reversible Satin Bomber Jacket

Re-Wears

One of the questions that I get asked most often is “Do you re-wear outfits/clothes?” Loves, the answer is a resounding yes, and with today being Groundhog’s day, this seemed like a great day to talk about it!

Surprise, I’m a fashion lover! And I love shopping for pieces that make me happy, and that I can blend into my wardrobe. I shoot what I think would translate best, but there are outfits that I re-wear on repeat, pieces that I mix and match, outfits that I wear in different ways. I’ve written about re-wearing a piece here, I wrote about only having a few things to wear here and here, and that’s my real life. Like you, I go through phases, there are times when I fall in love with something or a combo and wear it out.

When I fall in love with a piece, even if it’s a stand out I’m not shy about wearing it again and again.

There are even pieces that I shot when I first started at the beginning of the blog, that I’m thinking about reshooting!



And loves, clearly I re-wear my shoes a lot! So in short, yes, I am a fan of re-wear, repeats-whatever we like to call them, as long as it’s amazing fashion I’m in!

I love a cheeky nod with my fashion (yes, bad pun intended). Pieces that have a personality, stand out, are fun, and go with anything. This clutch was a holiday gift to myself, and I couldn’t be more grateful! It goes with everything, yet makes a statement. And I love this eye shirt, subtle yet fun (and yes, I have a thing for eyes). And together–just cheeky! I couldn’t resist the trend of fishnets with jeans (I have to admit, they do just go together) and some of my fave Gucci loafers. What’s making you smile today?

Loves, I consider it my duty to let you know all the ways that you can wear all the ways you can style the fashion I bring you. That’s part of the fun, right? But there are times when I can’t decide myself–great fashion can lead to indecision. So what’s a fashion lover to do? Choose them both. With this vintage, super sexy Dolce&Gabbana dress I couldn’t decide to wear heels or boots (and I love it with sneakers as well). So I shot it both ways–and here’s the best thing about great fashion, it can be styled every which way. Great with heels, boots, sneakers–what else can we think of?

You either love hotels or you hate them. Me? I love them! From high end resorts to motels, I love the personality, the rooms, the pools, I just I love hotels! Maybe it’s all the movies that I watch, but it always seems as if there’s adventure to be had in them! And because my definition of adventure involves stunning fashion, I always have a great time in hotels. In this one? Dreamy White Leather dresses (this one has become my go-to, it’s Gucci that I got second hand and I wear it all the time), socks with peep toes (one of my fave combos) and waiting. What’s not to love?
